kangkang vs chichoo

drops 9 more kills and deaths - 1.75 KD vs 2.07 KDA
12-5 first blood vs 5-4
92% KAST vs 81% KAST
323 ACS vs 230 ACS
50 more average damage per round

yet 1.43 vs 1.44 rating

not saying chichoo is bad or anything but just not sure how this results in a marginally worse rating for kangkang

I usually look for ACS, game score that considers clutch, KDA, KAST etc... VLR ratings are f*cked up as you can see by teams rank (?)

acs is not that good of a determiner vs rating

When it's considering individual performance is. Rate is based in who won, if you don't won, your rating sucks, independent of what you have done in the match.

ACS is a dogshit rating too, if a player gets 3 exit frags with no impact it still gives them a good ACS.

Kast is the best Game score imo

But, if the teams loses like T1 today, their best KAST is 67% in 3 players. Like, the worst player in EDG who won is 78%. This means that the worst EDG player is better than the whole other team.

KAST is not individual performance at all, in the game that LOUD won against EG 13-0, their cast was 100% in 4/5 players, and EG was having a shitty time even tho one individual still trying;

Yea that’s true too.

If teams get shitstomped Kast becomes a bad stat.

All in All we do not have a good enough rating to prove statiscally why Things are bad or Good

vlr rating sucks for basically the opposite reason that acs sucks
